Trust in Local Governments and the Theory of Coproduction

Summary/Abstract: The relationship between public policy and trust is one of the most current issues both in academia and politics. In our study based on national and international literature we scrutinize the main explanatory factors of institutional trust, especially the trust in political institutions. We present the main elements of the coproduction theory and we examine how the theory can contribute to increasing confidence in local governments. It has been found that through strengthening citizen participation and improving the quality of public services the confidence in local governments could increase.
